Final release announcement coordination
by Jaroslav Reznik
Hi all!
As we're getting to pretty solid RC, it's again time for release
announcement. Readiness meeting is on Thursday, would be nice to
have a draft ready for review and final version next Monday, so
text formatted and magazine versions can be prepared in advance.
Workstation seems to be pretty covered, do we have any additions
to Server and Cloud? The other thing is to get rid of all Beta
strings.

Thanks Joe for starting it and Paul for Workstation bit so
far! We had the best Alpha/Beta announcements so far, let's
continue with this high bar :).

Fedora 21 Final Release Candidate 4 (RC4) Available Now!
by Adam Williamson
NOTE: Signing of the RC4 tree is not yet complete, there are technical
issues in releng preventing it working. To strictly be sure we're
testing the right bits we should remember to check that the images we
test match the signed checksum files once they're available, and of
course you can carefully check the TLS certificate of the server when
downloading the images. fedup tests may require the --nogpgcheck
parameter until the signed .treeinfo file is available. releng will
update and close the trac ticket when signing is complete.
As per the Fedora 21 schedule [1], Fedora 21 Final Release Candidate 4
(RC4) is now available for testing. Note that RC3 never made it out of
the compose process - releng made a small mistake so they started over,
and it was easier to call the retry 'RC4' than clean up the failed
attempt and call the retry 'RC3'.
The only difference between RC4 and RC2 should be that the live images
have correct fontconfig caches. Otherwise RC4 and RC2 should be
effectively identical. There is no difference in their package sets, the
fontconfig fix was done in the kickstarts. Existing RC2 test results
will be considered valid for RC4 and transferred to the RC4 result
pages, but from now on, please switch to testing the RC4 images.
At present we're hopeful RC4 will be good enough for Final release, so
please help us get through all the testing!
Please see the following pages for download links (including delta ISOs)
and testing instructions. Normally dl.fedoraproject.org should provide
the fastest download, but download-ib01.fedoraproject.org is available
as a mirror (with an approximately 1 hour lag) in case of trouble. To
use it, just replace "dl" with "download-ib01" in the download URL.

Hi
I'm new to Linux and unix-like systems, I need some advice on backup
solution for file level and block level backups
for file-level backups I found fsarchiver, dar, tar and for
file-system-level fsarchiver, clonezilla/partclone and dd appropriate
based on my requirements
(data integrity and confidentiality, mount and single-file-restoration
capabilities, btrfs and GPT support, ACL/Selinux preservation, xz
compression)
Advantage of tar and dd is that they are available every where but I'm
mostly concerned about file integrity with tar
and dd copies all unused blocks of file system too (fsarchiver or
clonezilla/partclone will only copy file-system + MBR)
I need some advice on Backup solutions, what is your personal methods
and solutions?
Any advice would be most welcome
Thanks

Hi Ali. Please don't cross-post to all of these lists for user
questions. The server, cloud, and desktop sig mailing lists are primarily
for
development of Fedora in those areas. I'm going to remove those from
the list and reply just on the users list, which is an appropriate
place for this.

I'll be poking at this tonight. Others are welcome, of course, but I'll
make sure it's in shape for Thursday and we should only need minor
tweaks for Monday.
Thanks!

As you guys are crafting improved notes, for better consistency, it
would be great to write in present tense about the release.
INCONSISTENT: "Fedora 21 Foobar will include special flavor crystals
that defy gravity and help you fly like Superman."
CONSISTENT: "Fedora 21 Foobar includes special flavor crystals that

Be sure to use passive voice too. Paul likes that.[1]

It looks to me like the Atomic tree content is lagging significantly:
# atomic status
TIMESTAMP (UTC) ID OSNAME REFSPEC
* 2014-12-01 10:18:48 1ae9d436cb fedora-atomic
fedora-atomic:fedora-atomic/f21/x86_64/docker-host
# rpm -q docker-io
docker-io-1.2.0-5.fc21.x86_64
#
Yet:
https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2014-13528/docker-io-1.3.0...
went stable on 2014-11-01 as far as I can tell.
The repo at http://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora/linux/atomic/21/ has a
slightly older no-op commit, so I assume this is an issue on the compose
server side.
